| 9:45 AM | Brian Jagos - CA - CA z/VM Products Implement VMSES/E
CA has a history of acquiring products and along with that, installation and service methods. When every vendor has its own method and some companies like CA have multiple methods, it can be a burden to learn and remember all the different procedures to install, upgrade and service products. To help simplify matters, CA is implementing IBM VMSES/E as the method to be used to install, upgrade and service z/VM system products. Brian Jagos will give an overview of how CA ultimately decided to use VMSES/E and how it works with CA products.

| 11:00 AM | Brian Jagos - CA - Automate Common z/VM and Linux on System z Tasks
Managing console logs is a critical task, and one that can be complicated when multiple systems are supported. This presentation looks at ways to automate and simplify the following tasks: Keeping a daily log of all z/VM system messages, commands entered, and response messages and return codes; Keeping in the same daily log all Linux console and syslogd or syslog-ng messages for all Linux servers; Keeping the log organized without filling up spool or disk space; Easily reviewing the log online for selected periods; Storing older logs on tape for as long as required.
